My (moth) visitors did n`t turn up!

 Wednesday and Thursday nights (11th & 12th June) were trumpeted online as being of potential for moth migrants (as it proved to be in SW England and elsewhere in the far south of England).  Not a single migrant - even a common species - turned up in my two garden traps (one MV, the other a mains-fed actinic). It was worthwhile though, as a decent mix of moths were trapped (for my current trap site), including some more local species including Ephestia woodiella, a pyralid that caused me some i/d difficulty as I`d somehow dismissed the genus Ephestia and its patterning/colouration did n`t quite fit other similar pyralids. In the end, George Tordoff put me out my misery and determined it.

Amongst the macro moths, a cypress carpet was nice to see.

Some non-moth records, caught within my traps also provided interest such as the little longhorn beetle Jubolia cerambyciformis. Photo below:
